Reminder: Premium Season Ticket Holders Facebook Group
Hello,
If you are a premium season football ticket holder, please send me an email if you would like to join our closed facebbok group.
I know there is some frustration out there among the premium seat holders, becuase we can't buy or sell on stub hub etc.
For example, I fly in for every game and I always have friends and family coming in, and sometimes I need extra tickets, sometimes I have extras.
Example 2, I know of someone who needs two Notre Dame club seats and is willing to trade 2 Ohio suite tickets, etc
Hopefully we can have a little group to deal with our ticket needs with each other.
This is just a community based place for Michigan fans to buy, sell, or trade your premium tickets with other premium seat holders.
Send me an email if you are interested.
That's the definition of a first world problem.
Also, tough life
Great trolling on this board. Someone who loyally comes back to michigan for every game tries to interact with others to solve some ticket problems...and as expected the first two responses are trolling attempts for commenting on the poster being able to afford to fly back and afford premium tickets.
relax, i don't think it was mean trolling...
btw we all love neil. he had a cool story about meeting hoke and offers up some hotel and travel advice from time to time.
we're all mgoblog fams!
But my main pont was that I thought the AD had this service already and that the OP might want to check on that, brah.
I have had the pleasure of enjoying a few games from a suite. If I had the cash I would spend it on premium seats as well.
To the AD's credit, there is a site, where premium ticket holders can buy and sell tickets, but it's only at face value. (maybe this year it will be tiered with the new dynamic pricing).
So, my experience was that I could easily get bottom tier games, but anything middle tier and above, was not available. Which makes perfect sense, who is going to give up a Ohio, Notre Dame, MSU ticket for face value? In the club?
...per se. They "relinquish" their tickets to the "Premium Seat Exchange" where they recieve a tax exemption for the donation based on the face value of the ticket. That ticket can then be purchased by another Premium seat holder that would like to buy extras. The seller receives no money in the exchange.
Who can't afford the gas or the parking to the game. Amirite?
you mean you don't buy gas in the futures market 6 months ahead of time? nonsense!
Sometimes my private jet is in the shop and my lambo is getting an oil change and ill have to watch the game in my private full size IMAX theater.
Is when they give you the wrong year of the champagne you ordered
Umm, champagne is not a wine that ages well. So yea, I would be annoyed if they gave me some really old, stank champagne.
Where's the moderator tag for "ironic"?
I would have kept my mouth shut (or fingers still), but since you tried to correct someone on the topic, I'll correct you: there are plenty of champagne vintages that age very well and are intended for keeping. And virtually all champagnes that list a vintage (which would be applicable to the original comment) are suitable for storing.
i'd rather save the cash and go w/ a younger champagne. most of the older champagnes that i've had have lost their carbonation and were pretty dark in color (very caramel-like).
maybe it's just my experience, but i'm not a fan of old champagnes.
I owned a bottle of champagne that had aged around 10 years. When I opened it I thought it had gone bad. Fortunately our dinner guests knew more about champagne than I did and informed me that's the nature of aged champagne. Now I just buy the one year old stuff!
Correct, there is a reason James Bond prefers Dom Perignon '53.
champagne ages terrifically, as well or better than any other white still wine and in many cases, better than reds. It has a better track record for aging, for example, then modern-styled Cab from the Napa Valley. There's a reason folks pay hundreds, even thousands of dollars for 20+ year old bottles of Krug, Salon, etc.
can we now move on to the cheeses?
/s
I'll trade my student loan for tickets
yea lol... you won't get much support from the mgoblog masses.
anyway, since i'm generally curious about anything related to tickets, can you describe with more details the particular restriction on selling tickets.
is it simply the fact that you can't use a secondary market like stubhub?
why can't you just sell them on mgoblog to an "average joe"? why do you need to sell it to a premium seat season ticket holder (does it have to do w/ the ease of transferring via bar code)?
I can't imagine that it's that hard to physically mail the tickets to someone and have that person cut you a check or pay via paypal... or is there something that i'm missing?
it has more to do with trading tickets rather than trying to sell them. But I thought the athletic department set something up for this last year.
The exchange through the AD is just for selling and buying, not trading.
The AD exchange is "You donate your ticket for a tax write off and the AD sells them to another premium ticket holder". It's not a buy-sell transaction.
Thanks for clarifying. I admit I only buy from the exchange, have never sold (or donated).
I remembered them starting something but clearly that isn't a great idea for a lot of folks.
We aren't allowed to sell them on Stub Hub.. Even if you wanted to, you can't put the 'section' number in.
The MGOboard might work, I never really used it.. Just wanted a place to intereact with other premium ticket holders to so that if I needed an additional ticket on the fly.. I had access to people who had them.
My experience is also that none of the other sites are good for selling or buying club tickets.
I have been doing so for several years and I do not see any notices that this has changed.
If you visit the athletic deparrment site: http://www.mgoblue.com/tickets/marketplace-faq.html
you will see that the athletic department speicifically says you can sell on Stub Hub.
I also wondered what you meant by "premium."
Aren't allowed to be sold on StubHub when I checked last. In fact, I think StubHub even prevents them from being posted.
When did you last try? I did it last season.
I just went on and saw that there are listings and some sold for this upcoming season. It allowed me to go all the way through with posting a listing except I did not hit submit as I prefer to allow electronic delivery and to do so you need the tickets themselves to get the codes off them. The tickets have not yet arrived.
[Edit: I should have realized this earlier but I guess my seats in section 3 are not "premium" which explains why I can sell them on Stub Hub.]
means you are selling them to anyone--even Sparty or Buckeye fans. I prefer to do business with Michigan fans. I strongly prefer only Michigan Fans' butts sit in my seats.
I hate Facebook.
This is a joke
nothing personal to the OP, but man the 1% can suck an egg
Come on, don't be like that. You sound like you're whining. This is America and you can make bones just like the OP did, you just gotta do it.
Let us hope the Michigan Difference makes millionaires of us all and club seats for all.
Kind of funny that you're railing against the 1% w/ the username "Michigan Arrogance"
